PCM is High
Hey Doctor, I recently booked full body check-up for my mom. Where I found her CA 19.9 (Pancreatic Cancer Marker) is high = 81.94 In addition to that below tests are high as well: HIGHLY SENSITIVE C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (hs- CRP) - 3.29 Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is 2x = 40 Whereas her immunity is low IMMUNOGLOBULIN IgE TOTAL SERUM is Low - 13.2 Could you please confirm which specialist I should consult and what further tests are needed? Thank!

Ca 19.9 is marker of many cancer and also raised in sone other benign conditions. CRP Also raised increase concern of hidden malignancy. I would recommend USG abdomen focusing mainly pancreas and gall bladder. Consult again with USG report.
